How you

by Joel   Mar 29, 2006


How you gonna take everything away from me
how you gonna kill some of my people
how you gonna let the water take my house the place i rest my head
how you gonna pick my stuff up and move it with out even asking
how you gonna take my cars
how you gonna take my memories and make them float
how you gonna end friendships that I've had for years
how you gonna leave people stuck on the roof
how you gonna make people swim to there death
how you gonna get so destructive
how you get to decide that my best friends in life have to move
how you get to decide that i get to be sad
how did u know that the government wouldn't help no one
how did u know that we would all suffer years after this
how did u know that you would target our area
how did you get to be so powerful
how did you fool all of us
how did you convince them that you where a category 3 when you was a 5
how did you let all the focus go on new Orleans when people in Mississippi are struggling just as bad
how are you gonna leave this place the way you did
how are you gonna leave and not clean up your mess
how are you gonna pick on the gulf coast
how are you gonna decide who lives and who dies
how are you gonna just end life's
how are you gonna destroy property life's love everything
how are things still messed up after 8 months
how is everything not back to normal
how is it that you just left as fast as you came
how is it that government is running out of money to help us
how is it that fema didn't give us a damn thing
how is it that fema is running out of money
how is it that the government could have gotten help here fast but didn't
how is it that we spent more money on Iraq than we do on our own land

R.I.P to all who lost there life due to hurricane Katrina God rest all ya'll souls
we miss all of ya'll and we love all of y'all y'all will be forever in our hearts
